Tiguan 162 Wolfsburg vibration on acceleration

[phonebooth]

Hmm...not sure how. I have now done 7500kms and the vibration is still there but not as strong. Car is going in for its first service, so will mention it again (different dealer) and see if they will pick it up.

I have transmission clickety clacks at low speed changes, but the changes are smooth, so not sure what's that about...purely an audible issue.

I've actually noticed both these issues on mine. What dealer did you take your car into initially?

The DQ500 is noisy at low speed, particularly going into first or slowing down into a driveway. I’ve had a gearbox replaced under warranty due to failure but the new gearbox is equally noisy and my only gripe with the car. I believe a TCU-TVS tune does quieten it down but I can’t confirm this. It’s an inherent problem with this gearbox across the range.

Maybe that's how it is...
